Atlanta Suspends Vice Unit [From AP] The prostitute business in Atlanta should do a brisk business- at least in the next couple of days. That's because the Atlanta police department has suspended undercover vice operations aimed at prostitution after an officer shot and killed a suspected prostitute one of four fatal police shootings in the past three months. Members of the 10-member vice squad will be temporarily reassigned while officers in marked cars perform their duties. Police Chief Richard Pennington said he suspended the undercover vice operations "out of concern for the safety of our officers and citizens." Atlanta police have mowed down 12 people this year, killing five, the largest number of police shootings since 1995. On Monday, an officer shot a suspected prostitute four times after she sprayed him with pepper gas and stabbed him in the face and arms when he tried to arrest her, police said. The officer was in stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital. On July 14, a plainclothes officer killed an 18-year-old, who police said was trying to run over the officer. Relatives and friends said the teen was fleeing because he felt threatened. Timothy may have believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no mattertomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther .
